Stuffing Dolls

One of the best products I have found for stuffing dolls is a Hemostat. This baby can double your stuffing time. It help's pull apart the stuffing, so it is not lumpy, can reach those hard and narrow feet and arms. It is a great tool to use. I recommend a 10" for those long and large dolls. The smaller ones are great for a smaller doll, but I have used the 10" on them too! Be careful when stuffing some of my doll's legs though, some of them are very narrow and you can tear a hole if not careful. Push the stuffing in the hole with the hemostat, then use a chop stick or wooden spoon to inch it down in there. They are also excellent for turning your doll right-side-out. Just be careful not to force it or pull to hard. Always use good quality muslin, it is less likely to tear. Good luck!
